2002 was an unusual year for the programs; I was on the air for more hours
than ever, but the number of new Christmas CDs was sharply down. One
result was that I played more selections from many CDs than I would have
had time for in past years. Another is that I played many CDs on more
than one day. Finally, I even had to go to my vault for CDs Id played in
past years (something I virtually never had done).

Saturday and Sunday, December 21st and 22nd: Potpourri

On these days I presented my first-ever simulcast from WLFM, the public
radio station at Lawrence University in Appleton, WI. The signal was
picked up and rebroadcast by WRST in Oshkosh on those days, providing
wider geographical coverage than ever before. - Since listeners north of
Appleton cannot receive WRSTs signal, on these days I played selections
from CDs that I had played on WRST alone December 16-20. - These
selections are shown following slashes in the listings above. - The
following new CDs were featured on Sunday:

Selections from CDs played in past years from the following artists filled
out the program: Nashville Mandolin Ensemble, David Lanz, John Doan,
Liz Story, Katie Larue Waldren, Dan Crary, Rozanne Ziegler,
and Kurt Bestor
